Creepy clay...

Today's most interesting movie news concerns Born, a psychological thriller which will star real-life marrieds Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany. Directed by newcomer Daniel Simpson, produced by Guillermo del Toro, Lawrence Gordon and Lloyd Levin, with Clive Barker as executive producer and co-scripter, Born revolves around a couple who settle down in a seemingly idyllic English town to raise a family. Their perfect life is shaken, however, when the husband (Bettany) , a claymation artist, begins using red clay taken from a local quarry in his work. Soon he starts to have visions of a girl's murder while his animated figures act out a frightening scenario that threatens to come to life. The Chiodo Bros., creators of Killer Klowns, will produce the film's stop-motion sequences.
